Three bars having length $l, 2l$ and $3l$ and area of cross-section $A, 2 A$ and $3 A$ are joined rigidly end to end. Compound rod is subjected to a stretching force $F$. The increase in length of rod is (Young's modulus of material is $Y$ and bars are massless)
  • A$\frac{13 F l}{2 A Y}$
  • B$\frac{F l}{A Y}$
  • C$\frac{3 F l}{A Y}$
  • D$\frac{9 F l}{A Y}$
